A tree-ring perspective on the terrestrial carbon cycle
Flurin Babst,M. Ross Alexander,Paul Szejner,Olivier Bouriaud,Stefan Klesse,John S. Roden,Philippe Ciais,Benjamin Poulter,David Frank,David J. P. Moore,Valerie Trouet +10 more
TL;DR: Recent advances are summarized and promising paths of investigation are highlighted with respect to growth phenology, forest productivity trends and variability, CO2 fertilization and water-use efficiency, forest disturbances, and comparisons between observational and computational forest productivity estimates.

Environmental Factors Influence Plant Vascular System and Water Regulation
TL;DR: This review aims at synthesizing current knowledge regarding the effects of the main climate change components on the initiation and differentiation of vascular cambium, the transpiration stream, and photosynthesis, and predicts that combined environmental factors will result in increased diameter and density of xylem vessels or tracheids in the absence of water stress.

Climate change and the regulation of wood formation in trees by temperature
Shahanara Begum,Shahanara Begum,Kayo Kudo,Kayo Kudo,Hasnat Rahman,Satoshi Nakaba,Yusuke Yamagishi,Yusuke Yamagishi,Eri Nabeshima,Eri Nabeshima,Widyanto Dwi Nugroho,Widyanto Dwi Nugroho,Yuichiro Oribe,Peter Kitin,Peter Kitin,Hyun-O Jin,Ryo Funada,Ryo Funada +17 more
TL;DR: Temperature is the main driver of cambial activity in temperate trees and trees are able to feel changes in temperature through the stem, so a better understanding of the influence of environmental conditions on wood formation should help to improve the radial growth of trees and to prepare for climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cambial growth season of brevi-deciduous Brachystegia spiciformis trees from south central Africa restricted to less than four months.
TL;DR: The findings can be used to refine the carbon allocation component of process-based terrestrial ecosystem models and can contribute to a more detailed estimation of the role of the miombo woodland in the terrestrial carbon cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of localized heating and disbudding on cambial reactivation and formation of earlywood vessels in seedlings of the deciduous ring-porous hardwood, Quercus serrata
Kayo Kudo,Eri Nabeshima,Eri Nabeshima,Shahanara Begum,Shahanara Begum,Yusuke Yamagishi,Satoshi Nakaba,Yuichiro Oribe,Koh Yasue,Ryo Funada,Ryo Funada +10 more
TL;DR: In seedlings of the deciduous ring-porous hardwood Quercus serrata, elevated temperature was a direct trigger for cambial reactivation and differentiation of first vessel elements, but might be important for the continuous formation of wide vessel elements.

Tree-Ring Research on Tectona Grandis in Northern Thailand
TL;DR: There is some promise that the whole network of teak chronologies in northern Thailand can contribute to reconstructing climate over at least the last three centuries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth rings, growth ring formation and age determination in the mangrove Rhizophora mucronata.
TL;DR: This study reports, for the first time, the presence of annual growth rings in the mangrove R. mucronata, which offers further potential for dendrochronological and silvicultural applications.

Lignin Distribution During Latewood Formation in Pinus Radiata D. Don
TL;DR: The extent of lignification varied from tree to tree but in all cases, at least some lignin was present in the middle lamella and primary wall at the growth ring boundary.
Journal ArticleDOI
The onset of cambium activity - a matter of agreement?
TL;DR: The diffuse-porous maple and the ring-porOUS ash showed first cambium cell divisions after bud break contemporaneously in the second half of April, but in the ash, a few cells scattered throughout the dormant cambial zone had already distinctly enlarged by the end of March.

Natural factors affecting wood structure
TL;DR: The various concepts concerning the contribution of auxin to the morphogenetic fields in which the information is specified without spatial, directional or time-limiting conditions are discussed.
